(2024安徽芜湖期中)
Arsh believes in the importance of making the world a more beautiful place. The talented boy not only paints but also sells his artwork and donates the money.
It all started when his parents bought him a set of painting tools for his 8th birthday. Once he had his own materials, he began spending much of his free time putting color on his canvas. As Arsh's paintings began to grow in number, he decided to give them as gifts to friends and family. Receiving a positive response from people around him, he soon realized his pieces had the potential to get much more than smiles and praise.
His light bulb moment came shortly: he would sell his artwork and donate the money to charity. His first plan was to raise $1,000 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, which he accomplished in around nine months by selling his paintings on social media and at local art shows. Since then, he's broadened his reach to benefit other organizations, including the childhood cancer nonprofit Compass to Care and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. He's raised over $16,000 for charities so far.
Arsh's artwork is often colorful and cheery, as one might expect from a youngster, but it showcases the impressive technique of a gifted artist. Some pieces are more abstract in nature; others feature realistic renditions(视觉形象) of flowers and animals. They range in size and complexity, and, accordingly, price. Small paintings might sell for $10 while larger canvases, up to five feet, have gone for $800.
Last year, Arsh won The Diana Award, an honor presented by a UK charity founded on Princess Diana's belief that young people have the power to change their country. And the young artist has advice for other kids who want to make a difference. “Helping others doesn't have to be, like, money or anything. It can be your time, your skills, your talent,” he says, “and overall, just be kind to other people to make their day better.”
1.What made Arsh interested in painting
A.A birthday present from his parents. B.His parents' deep love for painting.
C.The encouragement of others around him. D.His fascination with the beauty of nature.
2.Why did Arsh decide to sell his artwork
A.To pay for his painting materials. B.To get more attention from others.
C.To attract children's interest in art. D.To help those people who are in need.
3.What can we learn about Arsh from the text
A.His fundraising plan is going well. B.He will turn his attention to his studies.
C.All his paintings sell at high prices now. D.He is going to teach other children to paint for free.
4.What does Arsh want to say in the last paragraph
A.Every child has a unique talent. B.Everyone has the ability to help others.
C.Talent plays an important role in learning art. D.Helping others is the mission of young artists.

长难句
原句 Last year, Arsh won The Diana Award, an honor presented by a UK charity founded on Princess Diana's belief that young people have the power to change their country.
分析 本句为主从复合句。“an honor” 作名词The Diana Award的同位语;过去分词短语“presented by a UK charity...”作后置定语,修饰名词an honor;过去分词短语“founded on Princess Diana's belief...”作后置定语,修饰名词a UK charity;that引导同位语从句,作名词belief的同位语。
译文 去年,Arsh获得了“戴安娜奖”,这是一项由一个英国慈善机构颁发的荣誉,该慈善机构成立于戴安娜王妃的信念之上,即年轻人有能力改变他们的国家。
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了2023年底发布的英国元旦受勋者名册。
5.B 推理判断题。根据第一段可知,元旦受勋者名册奖励的是那些激励我们的人。故选B。
易错归因
A项 根据第一段中的“The New Year's Honours list was published at the end of December 2023”可排除A项。
C项 根据第二段最后一句“These awards are given twice a year by the king.”可排除C项。
D项 根据第三段第一句“Tony Hudgell, aged nine, became the youngest person to be awarded a New Year Honour.”可排除D项。
6.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Tony has raised ￡1.8 million for charity and successfully campaigned to update laws protecting children.”可知,Tony为慈善组织筹款180万英镑,并且成功地推动了保护儿童的法律的更新,故选A。renew与update为同义表达,均表示“更新”。
7.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Goalkeeper Mary Earps was honoured with an MBE and is one of three of the England women's national football team to be recognized for their services to football.”可知,Mary Earps致力于足球事业并因此获得了表彰。故选C。
8.A 主旨大意题。本文为总分结构,第一段和第二段介绍2023年底发布的元旦受勋者名册表彰了千余人的卓越贡献与助人行为,名人和普通百姓均获奖,奖项多样,王室每年颁发两次奖;第三、四、五段介绍了受到表彰的典型人物。因此本文主要介绍了社会各界人士因其在不同领域的杰出贡献而获得表彰的事迹。A项“成就卓越的人”符合题意。
【高频词汇】 1.reward v.奖励 2.inspiration n.鼓舞人心的人(或事物);灵感 3.figure n.人物 4.campaign v.从事运动 5.update v.更新 6.diversity n.多样化
长难句
原句 A transport worker called Rizwan Javed, who works at Ealing Broadway Station in London, was awarded an MBE for helping people who are in difficult situations.
分析 本句为主从复合句。过去分词短语“called Rizwan Javed”作后置定语,修饰名词A transport worker;第一个who引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Rizwan Javed;第二个who引导定语从句,修饰先行词people。
译文 伦敦伊灵百老汇站的一名运输工人,名为Rizwan Javed,因帮助身处困境的人们而被授予大英帝国勋章。
